I am shocked, I tell you, shocked! I just caught a mention over at Drudge that there has been four days of rioting in Yerdie-Durble-land, er, that would be Sweden to you! As usual, according to the brick-tossers it was 'the cops wot dunnit' because they inadvertantly, or perhaps, not quite so inadvertantly, shot dead an elderly man who was threatening them with a machete. The cops, needless to say, have a different view. Anyway, the Husby district of Stockholm, which is about 80% immigrant, erupted and it has been going on for four nights. Before you indulge your anti-immigrant views the rioters are a mixture of all sorts and ages according to the police as reported by the BBC:
The Stockholm police spokesman said rioting had occurred in both deprived
parts of the city and parts that would be considered "normal".
"My colleagues say the people on the streets are a mixture of every kind of
people you can think of," he added.
"We have got Swedes, we have got very young people, we have got people aged
30 to 35. You can't define them as a group.
"We don't know why they are doing this. There is no answer to it." [My emphasis]
Oh yes there is, just lend them 3 Para, they have experience in dealing with riots which are, I admit, a tad bloody - but bloody effective!
